    My good friend Shannon from The Bargain Buggy has compiled a great list of things to buy for stocking stuffers while keeping it frugal! I have added in a few of my own and you can add in some too- this helps everyone with suggestions on things you might not have thought of but make great gifts!

    I have been gathering stocking stuffers for a couple weeks now…free toothbrushes/toothpaste, inexpensive coloring books at Walgreens, free Nivea last week and so on. The drugstores are GREAT places to purchase these items. Just follow what is on sale. For adults, I tend to purchase useful items–probably because that is what I like to get.
    Here are a couple items that I have as stocking stuffers that are fairly inexpensive.
    Men:
    Toiletry items (razors, shaving cream)
    Travel size products
    Lotto tickets
    Gum & Candies
    Apples, Oranges, Nuts
    Outdoors Type: hand warmers, fishing hooks
    Socks
    Magazines
    Sunglasses Clip
    “Coupons” for misc. items you will do on demand (Get out of the dishes free card, etc.)
    Women:
    Toiletry items (toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, chapstick)
    Nail files, polish
    Travel size products

    Sample size perfumes (I actually like these)
    Kitchen Gadgets

    “Coupons” for misc. items you will do on demand (FREE car wash, FREE night of watching the kids, etc.)
    Children:
